How do I get sticky price sticker residue off bamboo?

Without scratching the bamboo? I bought a bamboo platter and it had a huge sticker on it--I got most of it off, but there remains a sticky patch and I'm afraid if I start scraping it, I'll scratch up the wood. Why they couldn't put on the easily peeled off kind of sticker, I don't know.

Any suggestions for getting the sticky off?

Thanks!

eucalyptus oil, it works on metal maybe give it a try!
Reply:I am shocked no one has mentioned Goo Gone. You can get it anywhere- Wal Mart, Lowes, etc. It is often in the household cleaning isles as well as in hardware or automotive isles.



It safely removes sticker residue off of everything I have used it on. I have used it on wicker so I wouldn't think bamboo would be any different. Just saturate a cotton ball with it, place it right on the sticky area for a few minutes and it then just wipe off the sticky. Follow with a damp rag then dry.



You will find you use it for everything! It's great to remove the sticky residue sometimes left on stainless appliances by the sticky protective film sheets they apply at the factory. Ever tried removing the unsightly tags from lamp or appliance cords? You are left w/ sticky residue that attracts dust. Goo Gone takes care of that too.

Reply:Goo Gone or Goof Off. They are the same products basically.

Sometimes just soaking it will loosen the stickey too. It depends on the type of glue. If you don't want to submerge to get the residue off, you can lay a wet cloth on it for a few hours and see if that changes anything.

Reply:Orange oil is great for removing sticky residue... it smells good too!
Reply:eucalyptus oil works on pretty much everything. Just put a bit on a rag and rub it on the residue. It will come off really easily. I have heard that baby oil works too.
Reply:you could use tar remover it removes more than just tar it takes off glue and most things that are sticky
